About this award
This federal contract award to Trustees of Boston University (BU), a private, non-profit educational institution, supports the Solar Wind Magnetosphere Ionosphere Link Explorer (SMILE) mission, an international, pathfinding mission to study the solar wind-magnetosphere interaction. BU will investigate X-ray optical elements and provide scientific modeling and analysis for this mission, which is expected to achieve compelling scientific goals in the field of heliophysics. The $229,505 grant-funded contract, awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), has a performance period ending on September 30, 2026. The contract is not set aside for any specific business category.
Description
The recently selected ESA-CAS solar wind magnetosphere ionosphere link explorer (smile) mission is a unique, international, pathfinding mission that employs flightproven soft x-RAY and ultraviolet imager technologies to study problems central to heliophysics as expressed in the decadal survey, namely reconnection and the nature of the solar wind-magnetosphere interaction. IT is a self-standing mission that requires observations from no other source to achieve its compelling scientific goals but provides global observations that will unify the entire magnetospheric physics research discipline. BU proposes to support the mission through investigations of x-RAY optical elements and scientific modeling and analysis.
